Some household dangers to children are just no-brainers. We’ve been hearing about a lot them our whole lives, after all: watch out for the bleach and cleaners under the sink, keep the kids and dogs away from antifreeze because it tastes sweet, and to put those little plastic caps over electrical outlets so curious kids can’t stick forks and knives in them. Parents and guardians of toddlers and young children go out of their way to child-proof homes, erecting baby gates in front of staircases and installing latches on the medicine cabinets.
We all want to protect children as thoroughly as possible. That means that it’s important to consider the hidden dangers lurking in most homes that we might otherwise overlook. Accidents from hazards that seem harmless make up a huge percentage of the deaths and injuries of children every year. By being aware of the dangers, you can eliminate them, so you can keep your kid as safe as possible.
